    Favorite Trail:Rock-It, Chutes, Luge
    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Strengths:Rigidity, great steering, light weight, adjustability, resale value (if you'd ever give it up).
    Weaknesses:None, unless you're on a tight budget
    Similar Products Used:2003 Fox Talas RLC; 2007 RockShox Reba Team, Marzocchi LT, misc others demoed.
    Bike Setup:2008 Yeti 575, Talas RLC fork, RP23 shock, XT/XTR/X-0 drivetrain, etc.
    Bottom Line:The Fox Talas has a great reputation for a reason: It is an outstanding fork for XC/All-mountain use. I'm sensitive to fork flex, but the structure of the Talas is very rigid, making for precise steering & braking control. The 3-way height adjustment (100-120-140mm) is a big improvement over the previous micro-adjustments. The RLC version is extra tunable: I still don't have it fully dialed, plus it's still getting broken in, so I won't comment much on the ride quality except to say that I'm not complaining!

    There are cheaper options, but none that are a better price/performance value. 5 chilis all the way around.
